@canefan Finely dice some garlic and ginger fry for 30 secs. Add one tablespoon oyster sauce and one teaspoon XO Fry for a further 30 secs. Add any green veg cook to coat.
Makes anything taste special.
What is "XO"?

@Hooroo Uncle google tells me it is an Asian sauce...

I don't have XO. But I routinely use everything else. And a little squirt of sesame oil gives it a little umami boost too

XO sauce is awesome. XO pipis on fried noodles is one of my favourites at the Sydney Chinese restaurants

@Hooroo Seafood based sauce developed in Hong Kong in the 80's. It's not really a sauce, way too thick - more like a pickle or relish consistency. You don't have it on its own but its like a magic flavour booster. Imagine the difference salt makes to something bland. That's XO. IT'S AN UMAMI EXPLOSION.
Its called XO coz its Extra Special. You can get it at Asian food shops but not generally labelled in English.
I use these guys https://www.goodchownz.com/page/389613 They make their own XO using blackfoot paua. It's fucking good.
You can make your own but it looks a laborious process with hard to source ingredients so why bother

Fillet, home fries, broccolini.
Few reds.
I’m cool now.
But, but, you said broccolini. Are you sure you’re ok?
i think broccolini might be my favourite vegetable

XO sauce is pretty bloody great

It's easily in the yellow jersey for me. Love it pan-fried, when the leaves char up just a little bit.
Goes well with just about anything.
